6110.11.00 - Of wool

This classification covers knitted or crocheted articles of apparel that are primarily made from wool. This includes a wide range of garments designed for warmth and comfort, such as sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, and waistcoats (vests). The defining characteristic is the use of wool as the principal material by weight, ensuring that the finished product exhibits the properties associated with this natural fiber.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. While 6110.11.00 specifically pertains to articles of wool, the sibling category 6110.12 focuses on garments made from the fine animal hair of cashmere goats. Another sibling, 6110.19.00, serves as a residual category for articles of other fine animal hair not otherwise specified, thereby ensuring that all knitted or crocheted wool and fine animal hair apparel is properly classified.

Within this HTS code, further subdivisions clarify the specific types of garments. The subcategories distinguish between sweaters, which are typically pulled over the head, and vests that are not sweater vests, often featuring a more tailored design. An "Other" subcategory accommodates knitted or crocheted wool apparel that does not fit neatly into the sweater or vest classifications, providing a comprehensive scope for all wool garments within this chapter.
